2015 Green Bay Packers season

With a Week 15 win over the Oakland Raiders, the Packers clinched a playoff spot for the seventh consecutive season, but failed to win their fifth consecutive NFC North title after a Week 17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. As a result, the 5th seed Packers traveled to Washington to face the 4th seed Redskins in the wild card round. They beat the Redskins 35–18, and then traveled to Arizona for a rematch against the second-seeded Arizona Cardinals, where the Packers' season ended as they lost to the Cardinals in overtime, 26–20. One highlight of the Packers' season was a stunning come-from-behind victory over their division rivals Detroit Lions, which resulted in a 61-yard game-winning Hail Mary pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers to tight end Richard Rodgers as time expired. Although the Packers finished the season with a 10–6 record and made the playoffs, their offense struggled throughout the entire season after Jordy Nelson suffered a torn ACL in the preseason.Hodkiewicz Weston December 21, 2015 Packers finding a way despite offensive woes https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2015/12/21/packers-finding-way-despite-offensive-woes/77707846/ February 11, 2024 Packers News The team started the season 6–0, but went 4–6 in their next 10 games.

The Packers got the early 13–3 lead, helped by James Jones' 3rd touchdown reception in only two games, but the Seahawks were able to rally back on two Russell Wilson touchdown passes, giving Seattle a 17–13 lead in the third quarter. The Packers then scored 14 unanswered points, aided by two Seahawks turnovers and shut down the Seahawks offense, holding their star running back, Marshawn Lynch, to only 42 yards rushing with a 2.7 yards per carry average.
